Parent Projections

Movie theatres project an image on to a screen. Sometimes people project frustrations.
Sometimes you come home from work frustrated and you kick the dog. Other times, we project our feelings onto other relationships. Say a husband feels disrespected by his wife but avoids verbalizing his need but when she speaks to the kids in the same way he rescues them. He assumes they feel the same disrespect he does. The point is, he’s fighting their battle because it’s really his own. You can’t improve your relationship that way. Speak directly to your need, don’t be a projector.
